Aztec Records continues the Expanded CD reissue programme of landmark Australian albums with the fourth LP from the original King of Pop Ð Normie Rowe. So Much Love From Normie Rowe was originally issued in 1966 when Normie was at the top of his game. Over a brief period of 20 months Ð April 1965 to December 1966 Ð he issued the extraordinary tally of eight hit singles, seven EPs and four full albums on Sunshine Records. His third single, Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be) b/w ShakinÕ All Over, is still regarded as the greatest double A-sided hit single of the 1960s. Normie had an unrivalled talent for producing vibrant beat pop, inspirational R&B tunes and sumptuous soul ballads. Recording with his backing band The Playboys and astute record producer Pat Aulton, Normie fashioned another exceptional album. It was a great combination in the studio, working with Pat and The Playboys, Normie said recently. By the middle of 1966 Normie had gone as far as he could in Australia and set his sights on London. There he entered the studio with a remarkable crew of English session players. The sessions produced his next three Australian hits, Ooh La La, ItÕs Not Easy and Going Home. Beautifully re-created and packaged in a Deluxe Digi-pak, digitally remastered audio by Gil Matthews, it sounds better than ever. Included is a 12-page colour booklet and liner notes by Ian McFarlane.
